Title: Plate stacking
Inventor: ATKINSON MARK
IPC: B65H29/18
Filed: 1999-09-15
Abstract: Lithographic plates (26) are advanced along a conveyor belt (28). As the plates go over centre from the conveyor belt (28) they tilt downwardly and are driven downwardly by an assembly (16) towards a trolley (12). When the plates are at the bottom of their travel on the assembly (16) a lifting arm assembly (14) pivots to cause arms (32) to move up into contact with the plate and to cause the plates to go over centre such that they fall gently so that the face that previously faced downwardly now faces upwardly and away from a supporting face (36) of the trolley. Once the plate is securely on the belts (18) that drive the plate downwardly the plate is driven faster by the bands (18) until, just before the plate reaches the bottom of its travel, its speed is reduced so that the leading edge is inched down.

Title: Method for eliminating detrimental substances in a process liquid
Inventor: KARLSSON ANETTE
IPC: D21C9/00
Filed: 2000-07-05
Abstract: A method for eliminating detrimental substances in a process liquid. The process liquid has a first pH and, in addition to said detrimental substances, comprises metal ions and suspended material. Carbon dioxide is added to the process liquid in order to bring the process liquid to a second pH, lower than the first pH. Thereby, the metal ions comprise hydroxide builders, wherein the carbon dioxide (CO2) is added in an amount which causes the second pH to be between 8 and 6.5, so that the carbon dioxide primarily forms bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) having a pH-buffering effect and the metal ions primarily form metal hydroxides. Thereafter, the detrimental substances coagulate or agglomerate with the metal hydroxides and are adhered to the suspended material so that they become inactive. The method is advantageously used in connection with pulp and/or paper making processes.

Date Nov. 6, 1986.A method for three dimensional measurement of objects being conveyed through or moved relative to a measurement frame for, by incremental measurements of height, width and length of the object to calculate cubical and circumscribed volume of the object. Each transmitter/receiver element pair of the measurement frame is calibrated by controlling the amount of the light emitted from the transmitter and the threshold level of the receiver, such that the signal/noise ratio of the receiver lies above a specific limit, simultaneously with the illumination time being kept the shortest possible. By incremental measurements at least one pair consisting of transmitter element and directly opposite receiver element in the measurement frame is activated at time, and an external signal being a function of the movement of the object relative to the measurement frame is compared with the registered signals from the receiver elements for calculation of the volumes. The measurement frame is constructed in the form of horizontal and vertical transmitter- and receiver modules consisting of the transmitter elements and receiver element respectively. A computer is connected to the measurement frame for calibration of the respective transmitter- and receiver elements of the measurement frame and for calculation of the volumes being derived as a result of shadow images of the object on the receiver elements. A display is associated with the computer for display of the volume magnitude of the object. Utilization for e.g. calculation of freight charges of objects.

Abstract: Systems (34) which have an integrated unit that allows both television signals and information retrieved from an onboard information storage device (32) to be presented in a visual, audio or video/audio learn-while-doing form via output devices such as television screens and audio speakers. The operating mode - television or stored information retrieval and display - is selected by the user. The user is coached through steps leading to retrieval and presentation of the wanted information if the information retrieval mode is selected. To this end, the data storage devices are encoded with data corresponding to: (a) information for coaching a user in accomplishing one or more steps of a specified task in learn-then-perform way, and (b) an instruction set which enables the user access to access the information on a user-selected step of the task. Methods for providing the encoded data storage devices and for employing those devices in the operation of the systems are also described. A novel remote control (36) allows the system user to choose the mode of operation and to navigate the steps needed to reach the wanted information from a location convenient to the user.
